Cranberry Bar in Zurich has been a beloved spot for the LGBTQ+ community since 1997, making it one of the city’s longest-standing gay venues. Nestled in the heart of Zurich’s Old Town on Metzgergasse, it’s a cozy, stylish hangout known for its upbeat yet relaxed atmosphere. Spread over two narrow floors, the sleek, American-inspired décor gives the bar a modern but inviting vibe. Whether you're looking for a quiet drink during the week or a bustling crowd on the weekend, Cranberry draws a mix of locals and tourists alike.
The cocktail menu here is a highlight, featuring a blend of well-crafted classics and original creations. Happy hour from 5-7 pm is a local favorite, and don’t miss their signature drinks, like the Campari-based concoctions that nod to Swiss pop culture. Open to all, Cranberry is not exclusively gay, but fully gay-friendly, attracting a diverse crowd, including LGBTQ+ allies looking for a lively yet welcoming spot.
Cranberry is open daily from 5 pm, staying open until 2 am on weekends, making it a perfect late-night destination for anyone looking to enjoy Zurich’s vibrant LGBTQ+ nightlife scene. It’s easily accessible via the Rathaus tram stop, adding to its appeal as a local favorite.
Great service with awesome recommendations; we wanted frozen margaritas but did not see it in the menu so wanted to settle for something else; boy are we glad we checked with the staff. There is even a few flavors to choose from. So yeah come on down and grab a cocktail!
I used to go regularly to the Cranberry's as it's a nice quaint bar in central Zurich.Since the management changed, I have been repeatedly overcharged. The tabs is not up to date and you end up paying twice for the same drinks. The quality of the drinks and cocktails have been significantly lowered over the past few months and the staff on a busy Saturday night can be just rude.
What a great atmosphere and friendly staff. It turns out we wandered in, not realizing it was a gay bar. Although straight, we felt very welcomed and had a great time! Probably one of the best bars we’ve visited. The drinks were top notch.
Awesome gay bar centrally located in Old Town Zurich. Wonderful space, cool vibe, friendly, attentive bartender, professionally made cocktails, yummy snack crackers, good music and friendly local crowd. A pleasant surprise to find this bar upon our visit to Zurich. The drinks shown are the Little Brittain and Old Fashioned. Oliver was very friendly and checked to make sure we were happy with the cocktails he made. Excellent experience. We'll be back!
If you’re looking for a queer place to sit at the bar and grab a drink, look no further! Chill bar, good energy. Went here on a Saturday night (around midnight) and while it’s not a place for dancing, you can get a cocktail and mingle. It can be a bit hard to break into conversation with others because it seems many come in groups. But, it was nice to sit and chill amongst the gays for a bit before bed. Drinks were a bit $$, but I think that’s the standard around Zurich.
Lovely bar 🥰We went twice. In the afternoon, we sat on the sun terrace. By the night there is only seats inside. The bar is very well decorated, staff is lovely. Prices are very ok.I really recommend you to have a drink in this safe gay place.
